Ah, but if you know or even have a cursory knowledge of Braille, this where tags come in handy.
For non-perishables and or spices etc., I generally use dedicated containers that I slapped Braille on all sides so no matter which way I put it back in the pantry, I’m not twisting and turning every which way to figure out what it is or don’t’ have to play nose detective popping lids open to take a whiff or feel up or the dreaded taste test. For the freezer and stuff like chicken, pork, frozen veggies or fruit or whatever, I use some tags I bought at the Braille Institute that are hard plastic that you snake an elastic cord through so you can wrap around the zip lock bag or Tupperware or whatever. They are permanent tags, but I think 50 cost something like $10 or $15. And yes, the good old iPhone for barcode scanning.

Matt and I have the ID mate galaxy. It works great, other then when it can’t find the bar-code or the item isn’t in the database. Then that’s when we have to use seeing I or be my eyes. Thank God for all of this technology. Also have to be good with memorization once you put your products in the cupboards, refrigerator, and freezer. -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.
